I've been working on steem monsters' pixel art animations for a while, and today I decided to share a speedpaint video so you can see how I make the sprites, this is far from being a tutorial, I just want to show to those who are interested how the sprites get done. The video is only about the making of the idle animation because I didn't want to make a long video but I will definitely upload more of this in the future maybe with a complete set of actions.
So here's the final result and another example, where I gave some movement to the hair and clothes to make him look more cool
